It's ... it's ... actually quite good!
It's also very easy and, for the most part, a complete rip off of RE/SH (some moments almost baiting accusations of code theft).
Nevertheless:
- it's very atmospheric, and perfectly in tune with the feel of the show
- voice acting is excellent thanks to original cast member involvement
- superbly written dialogue by one of the series writers (extending even to Mulder's porn addiction)
- Mark Snow soundtrack
- there are bonus dvd features
- it supports widescreen
However:
- camera can, at times, be a nuisance
- viewpoint isn't fixed behind you like in SH, so no control over the camera either
- fans of either RE or SH will find the game pretty darn easy
- the game has to load quite frequently, though loading times are blissfully short
One for the fans, most definitely. I doubt people cold to the series will be hugely impressed, but considering the cancellation of the Xbox version, the delays and the price reduction to $29.99 it could've been a helluva lot worse.
